5.00This was amazing! We loved the option of being picked up at our apartment. It made it so much easier. And then we had enjoyable rides in a comfortable van to our destinations. This was so much better than getting on a giant bus with a huge group of people. We were taken to the most amazing places! It is definitely worth doing. Our guide helped to make this tour extra enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about what we were seeing and gave us so much history of the area. And the best part was, he really looked like he was enjoying his day as much as we were. And lunch was delicious! I would say that this is something you should not miss if you are visiting this area! It was amazing!
Awsome

Do NOT book/take this trip from this provider

1.00This was the worst ever experience I had during my multiple trips over my life. Do not expect the "guide" to tell you any history of the region or sand stone formations. The whole 1.5 hours on the way to Saxon Switzerland and 1.5 hours on the way back to Prague from the Bohemian Switzerland the "guide" did not say a word, instead stimulating tourists to entertain themselves by talking to each other. No less important, the so called "guide" not only does not walk with you to the Eagle's Nest and back, leaving you to the risk of anything that might happen along the road, but the worst is that he got upset that we took 1 hour and 15 min to get to the arch, instead of his ideal 40 min. Even worse, when we got there, he even did not give us time to take pictures on sit under the arch to enjoy the view. Instead, he rushed us to get down in order not to upset the owners of the restaurant. He absolutely did not care about upsetting us and ruining our whole day experience for the super high price for this kind of service. It was not a guided tour by any means, but rather a trip with the driver. There were three of us, all from the United States. The other lady got so exhausted from the rush to the Eagle's Nest that she could not make it to the prettiest and most desirable part of the trip - the boat ride. Such a shame and such a waste of money, with no emotional reward. This tour should be canceled by Viator and the provider should NOT be allowed to advertise his "service" on a reputable travel site. The mentioned above lady shared with me, that she is surprised this provider still is being offered here, I could not agree with her more. If possible, I want my money back, at least partially. I have no problems with Viator, I had very good tours with them in many countries, however this provider's service is absolutely unacceptable.
Great day out

5.00Our guide was Honza and he ensured we had a great day, we were so lucky to have beautiful weather, firstly over the border to Germany and Bastei bridge we had spectacular views and Honza told us so much about this place, this part of the hike is easy but I would recommend taking some euros in small change if you have some for toilets, the next part is the hardest part of the hike partially due to the sandy paths in places but very much worth the walk uphill for more amazing views, after we came back down my legs felt like they had a workout, lunch was next which if you've been on tours before with lunch included you maybe do not have high hopes for this part but I can say the portion size was very generous, a decent size drink as well as water for the table and very tasty in a very beautiful location, the food was ready very soon after arriving as our guide had organised things this way but not once did we feel rushed, after this it was down to the gorge , again so beautiful to see this and the gondola very enjoyable and only a small wait for. All communication was clear for pickup etc and the day was very enjoyable, I would say for this day trip ensure you are capable of walking the 12km as I imagine it would be too much for someone unused to walking ( there is an alternative trip held on different days for people who do not or cannot hike) but definitely a must do for anyone who enjoys an active day out. Thanks Honza.

5.00I chose the easy day with Bastei bridge and Tissa Rocks because I had a recent injury. It was a whole lotta stairs but luckily my group was very patient and helpful. The Bastei bridge was beautiful!! It was just a bridge with a couple lookout spots but oh my it was still worth it. The Tissa Rocks were really neat to run around and climb through, despite the harrowing stairs getting there. Vojta was very friendly and knowledgeable and I loved that we had a nice traditional czech lunch! If you are lucky to get Vojta as your guide, please let him take all your pictures. They come out so professional!
An enjoyable hike through stunning natural landscapes

5.00This hike was the absolute highlight of our trip. The landscapes were breathtaking and the entire day was very well organized. What made the experience even more special was our guide, Vojta. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the region. The day was filled with incredible sights, funny jokes, and interesting stories about the history, geology, and local culture, which made the places we visited even more meaningful. Vojta did a fantastic job managing the tour, keeping a comfortable pace, and making sure everyone had a great experience. The scenery on both the Czech and German sides of the park was stunning, with dramatic rock formations, beautiful nature, and exceptional viewpoints. A big thank you to Vojta for making this such a memorable day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague who enjoys hiking and wants to experience some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the region.
Amazing Day with Vojta!

5.00Our guide, Vojta was simply amazing! His love of nature, coupled with his vast knowledge of the area (both the Germany and the Czecha side) was vast. This trip included a lovely lunch and lots of delightful conversation. A beautiful day to be in a gorgeous part of the world. Many sincere thanks. Driving skills A+++.

5.00The tour is absolutely amazing and we were blessed to have gone on a day when the grounds were blanketed in snow. It was beautiful and our guide was fabulous. I didn't feel strange being alone amongst other couples.
